IconI pride myself on being a mom that tries to do it all:  handyman, organizer, runner, etc.  One thing I've noticed from wearing all of those hats is that sometimes, you just don't have enough light to do your job well.  For instance, I don't know how many times I've found myself tending to a leak under the kitchen sink or fixing a bookcase in the corner of a room and needed someone to hold a flashlight for me so that I could see what I was doing.

I've also frequently needed a bright light for when I'm busy organizing the garage, attic or random closet of my home.  Even on nights when I decide to go for a late run, it would help tremendously to have an adequate hands-free light source.  ICON creates high-quality flashlights and headlamps and was generous enough to allow me to review their Irix II Headlamp.  Keep reading to learn more about the newest light of my life!

I reviewed the Irix II Headlamp from ICON, which retails for $34.99, but is currently on sale for $26.45 with FREE SHIPPING.

20 Second FitnessI love being a stay-at-home mom, but there is one thing that I definitely am not a fan of and that's the weight I've put on since quitting my job to stay at home.  When I was a Science teacher, it seemed that I was constantly on the run.  I was one of those teachers who never sat down and was always on my feet meandering through the room, helping students and supervising their activities.

Now that blogging has taken the place of teaching, I find that sitting has taken the place of walking and standing and my waistline has expanded because of it.  Although I've tried to work out on a consistent basis, the fact is that I wear too many hats during the day and my time is stretched to its maximum.

I've yet to be able to find a workout program which truly fits in with my busy lifestyle...until now.  20 Second Fitness has allowed me to review their revolutionary workout program which absolutely ANYBODY can find the time for.  Keep reading to learn much more!

I reviewed the 20 Second Fitness Workout Program which retails for $99.99.
